It boggles the mind that he falls and then someone with poor tape and good combine *cough* Lane Johnson *cough* rises like a phoenix.

Go figure

Who touted him as a top 5 pick. THE MEDIA.
Who touted Johnson as a riser. THE MEDIA.

Also, if you think Lane Johnson has poor tape, you're gonna have a bad time.

Moore was NEVER a top 5 pick, Johnson was NEVER thought of as low as some beleive.

In the end the media catches up to where the teams are grading people; Moore was likely a mid first round guy, a 15-20 sort of a pick and then he had a terrible combine that propelled him into the top edge of the second round. Johnson was an early 2nd type of guy, he had a great combine that flash athleticism and really nice footwork. so he improves his stock some.

Remember when the media was touting Manti Te'o as a top five pick based on game film?_________________

I just keep thinking about
Bruce Campbell and Vernon Gholston when I hear they had an amazing combine.

Not overly high on Moore but if he is there in the 2nd or even 3rd._________________Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I remember seeing a lot of mocks with us picking Johnson in the second round. I remember seeing mocks with Moore going as high as 2. Johnson is the definition of a riser thanks to the combine. (And a little of Lewan staying) And I am not listening to the media at all. I thought Moore going top 10 was worthless but I have gone on about not wanting Johnson in the second round! I don't like Johnson and I don't like his tape_________________

I dont know where the notion of Johnson having bad tape came from but in fact his tape is very good. Watch Texas A&M

Off the top of my head, Texas (I think)

Box Score scouting here; but vs Oklahoma this year Okafor was blanked on the stat sheet apart from one pass deflection and an assisted tackle (No QB Pressure) Jeffcoat had 0 pressures or sacks; and it was pretty much identical for the two the previous year bar one pressure for Okafor.

Have not seen the game, but on paper the Longhorns top two pass rushers have been pretty much blanked in the pressure department in each of the last two years vs Oklahoma._________________

I beleive it mainly had to do with the run game. His pass blocking is above average to pretty good. I just think he misses wildly on run blocking to the point where it scares me to think we might draft this guy. I know we will revolve around the passing game but his run blocking skills are atrocious_________________

I've seen that game and yeah I can confirm he was very good against Okafor and Jeffcoat.
